Provides both heat and hot water.
It was installed by a Rinnai authorized/ certified installer/crook, listed on Rinnai website.

There were no rebates at the time, or I did not qualify since I am not a NH resident, or possible I missed it. Oh well.

Only one person at a time can shower.
You can not run the dishwasher or the washing machine if someone is taking a shower.
The unit is very efficient, my propane bill is comical.
The unit has 0 reliability factor. Every year, something breaks.
This valve, that gasket, some aluminum heat plate, mechanical switch.
Every F..n year.
It is now under Eastern Contract, so far they are doing a great job.
RUN, RUN from Rinnai as fast as you can.

In mass I have a 30+ year Burnham boiler for ~3000 s/f property.
Efficiency s..ks.
I call the plumber once every 5 to 6 years to clean the unit. That is it.
No other service is needed.

Best of luck.
Since your Rinnai ECP75 specs state it can only produce 2.1 gallons per minute and since the average shower utilizes 2.1 gallons per minute, I'm not sure why you would expect anything more?? You should have bought a larger unit plain and simple...
